New Build 1.5K-1.7K USD

[Deafyx]

Hello everyone! Posting for a friend. This will be his OWN first build. I am asking the trusty MMO-C community to help us out.

First things first. I have included a link to a build that I thought would be okay, but I want to make sure it suits his needs so I am linking it here for you guys to see.

I am trying to keep in the 1500-1700 USD range. He is reusing his HDD and SSD.

-I included Win10 in the link because he will be buying that.
-He already bought the ram AND case before getting assistance with purchasing, but he would like to keep those to avoid having to send them back, and go through all that.


Budget: 1.5-1.7K USD
Resolution: 1440p 144Hz
Games / Settings Desired: Very High/Ultra
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc): Streaming in the future. Recording gameplay.
Country: US
Parts that can be reused: SSD, HDD, Ram, Case.
Do you need an OS? Yes
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)? Possibly a monitor if he does not get one today during Black Friday. 1440p 1440Hz. 4-500 dollar budget for that separately. Looking at the Dell S2716DG if we can find a Best Buy with one in stock as its on sale.

Games currently playing: Rainbow 6, League, Overwatch, and PUBG and Battlefield 1. Siege and PUBG gets the most play time currently.

The cpu cooler I wanted to link was the noctua dh-15 but I couldn't find it on pc part picker. I just left it there so you could get an idea of the price. This is the what I wanted to link:https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16835608045

Something you friend might want to take into consideration is if amazon and newegg don't have warehouse in his state he can avoid paying sale tax.

Newegg also has one of the most restrictive return policy I've ever seen. Amazon will take anything back and has really good shipping.

If he reuses parts he can afford an 8700k which is the king of mainstream processors at the moment.
